    No doubt. I was there sitting behind the bench for both years he was at the RMV. The first year he was a jerk to everyone. The second year he really put out the effort to be engaging with his teammates, fans, ball boys, everyone. He looked happier and more into the game.

    Two months later the scandal hit and he never looked the same again. But he was strong and skilled, but lacked the smarts.

    The stat that's most important to me that is easily calculable is Point Per Shot. I look for a ratio great than 1. Here's Lillard:
    27/21
    25/21
    31/22

    His best game yet. Lillard also had 7 assists which is what he was recorded as having in his first 2 games combined.

    The Blazers waived him right after he pleaded guilty for Dog fighting.

    http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/News/story?id=430724&page=1#.UAiu_GH2bSg

    "Woods, who was Portland's first-round draft pick in the 2002 NBA draft, had been suspended from the team since Oct. 12, and as of the Trail Blazers' most recent game Tuesday night, Woods had lost about $280,000 this season.

    His contract had called for him to receive $1,053,720 in salary this year."

    Thanks for the reminder. So, 2 warning signs not really considered in the past: low motor, dumbassery.

    Watching Leonard.... Some nights, they'll be very long for him and us fans his rookie year. Others, we'll be floored. I still remember O'Neal as a rook - it was up and down. But I remember him tearing it up against Kemp during Kemp's prime. You knew the kid was just dripping with potential. I have a feeling ML will be the same.

    I used to have a little sailboat called a Snark. If I still owned it I'd name it the SS Nik and MM.

    My concern is Aldridge's inability to set good picks, which hurts the PnR, but I agree with your overall point that once he has much better talent around him, he will look that much better.

    NateBishop beat me to it re: Woods/Lillard comparison. There is none. Lillard is far more polished and clearly a smart player. He also looks to be someone who got out of a tough situation (Oakland is not for wimps) and wants to stay there. I have no fear he's another Woods.

    Thank you. I've been meaning to point that out every time someone makes the Qyntel comparison re how meaningless it all is. Other than Davis not playing, there is a lot of talent spread around the LVSL.
